Tensura: The Epic Tale of Rimuru Tempest!

Chapter 52: The First Battle of Tempest.

"Rimuru POV:"

It's been almost four months since I recruited Adalman and Kumara. Currently, we are heading towards the marshlands. With me are Veldora, Diablo, Benimaru, Shion, Hakuro, Gobta, Ranga, and a few goblins.

Over these past four months, many things have happened.

Let's start with the first thing: the duties I assigned to my subordinates.

After Kumara completed her evolution, along with everyone else's, I gathered them all. First, I ordered Hakuro to select capable monsters who could fight and train them.

Next, I instructed Kurube and Kaijin to establish a smithy where they could work together. After that, I directed Suoie to gather monsters with talents in skills like espionage and intelligence gathering to create an intelligence department. This department would eventually expand throughout the world.

After him came Shion. When it came to her, she threw a tantrum, saying that she wanted to become my secretary. However, since I have Diablo as my secretary, I shut her down and made her my personal bodyguard instead. Even though I don't really need one, I didn't want to upset her with my refusal, and I didn't want to come off as too cold. After all, even though she is a bit eccentric, she's still one of my subordinates.

When I made her my personal bodyguard, Diablo approached me asking if he could train Shion. He knows I don't need a bodyguard, but he said that, if I'm going to have one, she should be strong enough to face any awakened individual. That's why he decided to train Shion a bit. I didn't stop him either; this way, he'll also stay occupied and don't do too much weird stuff.

After Shion was Shuna. For her, I assigned tasks to help in the kitchen and other areas. Once our village expands and becomes a big city or country, I will give her a proper position.

After Shuna was Benimaru. I was going to give him the task of handling the military from the start, but then I remembered he is going to train with Shizue. So, I didn't give him any task. However, he himself said he can manage the training and tasks together. Thus, I tasked him with overseeing all of the military and related matters.

After dealing with the Oni, I turned my attention to Adalman and Kumara. At the moment, I didn't have any specific tasks for them. So, I decided to send Kumara to Apito for training together. But before she left, I named all nine of her tails and now all of her tails are named.

As for Adalman, I instructed him to assist the village and its residents. Additionally, I told him that he could learn more about magic from Diablo.

Also, recently, I've heard rumors that Diablo and Adalman both together are trying to make a temple or something like that.

I'm need to find out what's going on, but every time I attempt to investigate, Ciel always intervenes and stops me. I wonder why?

After that, for the next three and a half months, I did nothing but oversee the village work and spend my quality time with Shizue and Ciel.

I didn't need to focus too much on expanding the city and its internal features because I had already thoroughly discussed the plans for expanding the city and its infrastructure with Myrd and other dwarves. We've outlined clear strategies for development that address various aspects of city expansion, from housing to public facilities.

As for the citizens, I've entrusted Rigurd with the task of managing every detail related to their well-being and needs. This includes everything from healthcare and education to public services and community engagement. By giving him these responsibilities, I've ensured that the citizens' needs will be met efficiently, leaving me with less work.
